Detailed documentation of the individual beans is in the Javadoc. In this case, you want this:

https://shibboleth.net/sites/release/java-metadata-aggregator/0.9.2/apidocs/net/shibboleth/metadata/dom/saml/EntitiesDescriptorAssemblerStage.html <https://shibboleth.net/sites/release/java-metadata-aggregator/0.9.2/apidocs/net/shibboleth/metadata/dom/saml/EntitiesDescriptorAssemblerStage.html>

So if you are building your aggregate using the EntitiesDescriptorAssemblerStage, you can set the descriptorName property by, for example, including p:descriptorName="myname" in its definition.

(The documentation in Confluence currently links to the 0.10.0-SNAPSHOT Javadoc, but it's fairly similar. That might need to change.)

There's a case to be made that we could use a lot more HOWTO examples. At the moment, a lot of the detailed stuff the MDA provides is only visible in the Javadoc, and not everyone will know how to work with that. Can you make a JIRA ticket to suggest we add an example that names an aggregate?[1]

[1] Note that, as I said before, I wouldn't really recommend relying on the EntitiesDescriptor/@Name, it doesn't scale very well.
